  • LYNDEN LAKOVIC SCOUTING REPORT | Will Skilled Winger FALL For Being 6-Foot-4 and Not a Powerforward?
    Jun 1 2025

    In this episode, we continue our Prospect Spotlight series, in which we take a full episode deep dive on a single draft-eligible prospect, today's focus: Lynden Lakovic, a clever and adaptable triple-threat winger who has expanded his game year upon year. First, we introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his tools: shooting, passing, handling, skating, and physicality. Next, we shift our attention to his toolkit and habits, for which we take out the tactics board. Last, we discuss Lakovic's projection at the NHL level, where he might fall on draft day, and some NHL player comparisons.

    Elite Prospects' tool projection scale goes from 1 to 9:

    1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool

    2 - AHL Caliber Tool

    3 - Replacement-Level Tool

    4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool

    5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool

    6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool

    7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool (Nick Suzuki's hockey sense)

    8 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' passing)

    9 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)

    (note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)

  • L.J. MOONEY SCOUTING REPORT | Can the High Motor Playmaker Defy the Odds?
    May 31 2025

    In this episode, we continue our Prospect Spotlight series, in which we take a full episode deep dive on a single draft-eligible prospect, today's focus: L.J. Mooney, a dynamic 5'7" forward with an undying motor. First, we introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his tools: shooting, passing, handling, skating, and physicality. Next, we shift our attention to his toolkit and habits, for which we take out the tactics board. Last, we discuss Mooney's projection at the NHL level, where he might fall on draft day, and some NHL player comparisons.

    Elite Prospects' tool projection scale goes from 1 to 9:

    1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool

    2 - AHL Caliber Tool

    3 - Replacement-Level Tool

    4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool

    5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool

    6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool

    7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool (Nick Suzuki's hockey sense)

    8 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' passing)

    9 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)

    (note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)
